During this year’s Poke Sallet Festival, things looked a little different than normal, as vendors were spread out across the Harlan Center parking lot and many of the contests were held virtually. Harlan Tourism’s Executive Director Brandon Pennington kept his head up through it all, selling 2020 Poke Sallet Festival shirts to guests wandering about. The shirts were made by VIP Tees, using a graphic made by John Deaton for this year's festival. (Emily Sargent | Harlan Enterprise)
